LabCorp

Im shocked And impressed. Thank you Jamie. I didn’t even feel it (needle). I highly recommend her (Jamie). Staff was courteous and fast.

This review is for Harold, and a long overdue. I know it sounds weird to read «this blood draw was awesome.» But the blood tests that Harold drew for me a couple of months ago were the absolute easiest, quickest, most pain-​free I’ve ever experienced — which is saying a great deal because: 1. my veins are tiny and scarred, so blood tests are usually very uncomfortable. 2. this particular blood test involved 13 different vials! Not only was Harold incredibly upbeat and friendly, but he was SUPER professional and went out of his way to help me. He’s ABSOLUTELY the best. I refuse to have my blood drawn by anyone else now, and I plan to go to Labcorp/​Harold for my next blood test. Thank you so much, Harold, for your incredible kindness and absolutely masterful work! Patients sincerely appreciate people like you, who are amazing at their jobs while truly caring about how they feel and their experience while in your care. You’re the best!!!

I can think of a few things I enjoy more than having my blood tested,
Nonetheless when it has to be done, it’s best if quick, clean and as
pain-​free as possible. Last week I had six vials taken for a comprehensive series of
tests and I was amazed at how good the phlebotomist was; so good in fact that I had to look twice at the needle in my arm to confirm that it was in there. Why? Because I literally did not feel it going it — okay I felt it ever-​so-​slightly but I’m not exaggerating in the slightest when I say; there was ZERO pain. Either LabCorp uses amazing sharp needles, or Harold, who was drawing my blood. is the true Angel of Phlebotomy — (or both!) Either way, if I ever need blood testing, and Harold moves to another location, THAT is where I’ll be driving to have my blood drawn. He is that good! /​rjj

One time I was here 2 hrs before I had to give up and leave for work, I was told if u make an appointment they take you in immediately before others. Not so as I was told two patients, without appts, had been waiting 45 min. So yes, again I will be late for work as I still sit here…
They don’t do well getting subs when they have an absence.

I had a lab order faxed over here and, when I called 2 weeks later, they lost the order.
I got it faxed again, and they lost it a second time!
The gentlemen I spoke to on the phone seemed unconcerned and didn’t really care about it.
Now, for the third time, I’m going to have my lab order sent to a different LabCorp location.

The lab itself looks horrendously dirty and unsanitary. The room where they draw your blood looks like it could use a good spring cleaning. I suggest opting for the disposable paper covered bed vs. the chair due to the unsavory and unpleasant smelling people I had the misfortune of sharing the waiting room with.
All the equipment they use is sealed and sterilized. Everything they use to take your blood is clean and disposable. This was the only thing that kept me from running out of the lab. I was very surprised with how quick and painless my blood draw was. The woman who took my blood was very sweet and gentle. It took the edge off from the man who was about to go postal in the waiting room while screaming at his doctor over the phone the whole 15 minutes I was there.
I’ve heard Quest is a much nicer and cleaner lab, so I will opt for this next time.

Popped in with no appt in the mid afternoon. In and out in 10 minutes. No hassles and the withdrawal went smoothly. Yay for moments like these!

This isn’t a review of just this particular location, but my recent experience with them.
My hell started with making an online appt for my 4-​year-​old daughter. I clearly noted that this would be a «pediatric draw» on the form. I show up at the appropriate time only to be told there were no butterfly needles and that there was a shortage. He then tells me I could try calling another location to see if they had them and hands me a sheet.
I call the BH location and get a recorded msg and no way to get a live person. Then I call Culver City and get the same.
Since I already pulled my daughter from preschool and took the AM from work, I go to Culver City.
First nurse sticks a needle into my daughter’s arm and gets nothing. So she wiggles the needle causing my daughter to scream. Still nothing, so she gets the other nurse to take over and my daughter is now sobbing uncontrollably.
In the end, my daughter to needles in both arms to get tested and I will tell her doctor to find us another lab.

Whenever I have to get routine lab work, I hop on my bike and go to LabCorp. The office is located in a multi-​story medical building. When you arrive, there’s a clipboard to sign in on, and generally a brief wait.
The way this place seems to work is that one person runs the whole show. They check you in, verify your insurance, assign you a room and then sample your precious, bodily fluids.
The last few times I’ve gone in, the gentleman running things quickly got me in queue and out in about fifteen minutes. Once in the room, he behaved in a playful, but professional manner, chatting about the weather as he prepared to do his work, which he does quickly and efficiently. Putting someone at ease in a place like this, is really important.
Why not five stars? The waiting room could be a little more comfortable — it’s small and kind of cramped. There’s a hole in the wall from where the door knob has smashed through.

Another 1 star review. Monique at the front desk may be the rudest person I have dealt with in a long long time. After she interrupted me to tell me to sign in and sit down. Every word out of her mouth was gruff and short. Every interaction rude and angry.
I should have checked Unilocal before making an appointment and coming in.
I will never use LabCorp again.

Hughes Avenue LabCorp… welcome to Unilocal.This is my first one star rating and it goes to you! No LabCorp experience is pleasant, nobody likes to go there or be there. especially people like me who borderline faint during their visit. but does your customer service have to suck too? Other LabCorps I’ve been to have had inexperienced people drawing blood & unsuccessfully poking me but at least they were NICE.
I had an AWFUL experience here today thanks to the extremely rude man who was working there. I left work early to get here at about 4:45pm (they close at 5:30), with my paperwork. I lost my insurance card a few weeks ago BUT had a photo front to back of it on my phone and that was just fine when I was at a doctor’s office 2 weeks ago– I just emailed it to them off of my phone no problem. LabCorp’s policy is that you need to have the card with you. The man immediately said, if you don’t have your card we won’t take you but if you can get your doctor’s office to fax a copy of your insurance to us that will work. I asked him what was the difference between that and me e-​mailing him the PHOTO of my insurance card front and back and him printing it. he didn’t seem to like my question. He replied «ma’am I just work here I don’t make the rules». I understood where he was coming from, companies have weird rules, but had he been more intelligent & polite he would’ve understood that printing my photo is the exact same thing as an insurance card copy, even more legit since it’s in color! Anyways, I sat down and tried to call my doctor’s office. My doctors office put me on hold so I was sitting there holding my phone to my head facing that man face-​to-​face and he rudely says «excuse me. we’re not taking you in unless you can fax your insurance so what are you going to do?», I was CLEARLY on the phone waiting and he knew it. so I just answered him that I was on hold. Seemed like he was rushing me so he could shut the office 30 min early and peace out. Just my luck, my doctors office failed to be able to print my insurance information (something w/​the computer) so I got up, kept my anger in, and kindly said to the man «my doctor’s office can’t print it but thanks anyways», and he straight up IGNORED ME, he also ignored me when I told him I was on hold and that I would let him know soon.
Not only did I leave work early but I also had to skip my gym class… PISSED. In the end it was for the best. who wants some angry man who hates their job and their customers drawing blood from them anyways???
